The right place for a beer, Food-wise: breadsticks with garlic are ok, better if you get to freshly made ones; fried korushka was tasty, we also order some shrimps to snack on; they are small and goes well with beer. The place has a great selection of beers that can please even a picky person; they have kvas. The crowd, mostly former Soviet Union people, so expect what you can expect from them. read more

Tap Beer - a man standing in a bar - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

In the area and decided to stop by this bar for the first time -- and definitely my last. I've never been to a bar that automatically adds an 18% service charge just for ordering drinks. I had one beer for $10, one cocktail for $16, and fries for $7. Somehow the total came out to $42, which simply doesn't add up. The bartender wasn't helpful at all and never provided a receipt. When I asked about the total, he said there was an automatic 18% service charge. Honestly, it felt like a joke. He even said the fee was "for staying in to drink" -- which makes no sense. Where else would you drink if you're at a bar? If this is how they operate, I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Tap Beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good beer selection, also have snacks/ sides for it. Depending on the day, it's a mixed crowd that can get unpleasant as some patrons don't know how to act after drinking too much. Very casual environment and service. read more

It is a nice bar to have fun on Friday or Saturday night. The beer is good, the food is good. I'm not a big fan of their pricing policy. Sometimes you can notice the prices on the check higher than in menu. Sometimes, they try to charge you more for tips than you would like to leave. Be careful with that and always double check. But, all in all. The place is fun!) read more

We walked into Tap Beer NYC as a group of 5, ordered food and drinks, and the waitress took a credit card -- never said a word about any cover charge. 20 minutes later, a staff member tells us we owe $20 per person because of a UFC fight on some TVs. No signs, no heads-up, nothing. Total bait-and-switch scam -- classic Russian-style shady bar move. We walked out. Avoid this place unless you enjoy being tricked out of your money. read more

I and my friends like this place! Come, try and enjoy! They have a lot kinds of beer, snacks, hot food. Good place to meet friends. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. We paid $18 for a liter of beer. $5 for a sprite? On top of that charged a 15% service fee when there was no service provided at all?? The owner always sits there and drinks. The workers look like they have no idea what they're doing and when you ask them about a specific beer, they give you an attitude and act like you're an idiot. ON TOP OF THAT, they charge you a $30 cover charge per person for sitting at a table to watch a PPV when they find that PPV being streamed for free and put it on all their TVs!!! Save yourself the money, time, and haste and go somewhere else. This place used to be great, and now it's a joke. read more

My wife and I were walking by this local beer restaurant and were delightfully surprised when we walked in. They had a huge selection of beers to choose from with some great small plates for eats. They did a really nice job renovating the place, and will be sure to come back as their beer was delish with a great ambiance!! read more

I just stopped at this place to have beer and shrimp. they charge me $18 for half a little beer. This is a huge rip off , even in five-star restaurant on Madison Ave you pay my less than this. I'm never coming back. read more

There's a plethora of beer! The beer is nice and cold,you can grab yourself a chilled glass from their freezer. I think that's a great concept! The wings,fried potatoes and pickles! So scrumptious! Service was good,the place itself is laid back and great for enjoying some company! read more

They have a large selection of draft beers exceeding three dozen options. The focus is certainly on eastern European beers with plenty of options from Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, and more. There are mostly macro options with a few craft ones from breweries such as Dog Fish Head and Allagash. The draft system is rather odd. Every tap has a special nozzle which only fills into a plastic bottle. In order to have a beer in a cup or glass, it is necessary to fill up a bottle first. I find that wasteful. They do have recycling bins separated from other garbage, so I do appreciate that initiative. They have a beer garden outside with about a dozen tables wrapping around shore parkway and Sheepshead bay road. The service is quick and the pricing is reasonable. They have a lot of snacks including dried fishes - a traditional Russian snack while drinking beer. read more

Awesome spot in south Brooklyn to come, sit outside on a warm summer day, and enjoy a cold beer. Sounds pretty nice doesn't it? They have a wide variety of beers to choose from. They offer any size from half a litter to two litters and pour your beer into a bottle and give you a cup to drink from. I had the Pilsner (my favorite) and then a grapefruit beer which was very light and yummy. The food was great and went along with the beer just perfectly! - the cold smoked fish... I had half of It on my own and definitely did not have a single regret! - the fried bread crackers were definitely a treat and something to get when brought out hot. It is served with a sour cream like dip - the fried calamari was good but nothing to go crazy over - I did not try the fried fish but was told It was great!! The prices aren't cheap but they aren't horrendous in my opinion. Definitely worth the visit! read more

Good beer selection and it tastes great. I agree about plastic cups, glass would keep beer chilled longer but it is not deal breaker for me. I mean the name of the place "tap beer" so I come only for the beer. I never ordered food. So no comment on that. Customer service is ok. I like the location and I like the beer! I like the price 1L-$8. Good job. BTW they have dry fish, which is essential with a beer for some ppl :) read more

Real rip off! Don't be fooled. Worst of all, they charge you a service fee for no reason, whether you use a credit card or not. And why are they charging this fee when they don't serve you? Next, the prices are so high and not worth it. I had to pay $3 extra for a piece of bread to go with my $6 sausage, and an extra $3 for sauerkraut. Furthermore, the options there were totally different than what was on the online menu. No soup at all! Staff very aloof and not very helpful. Beer wasn't bad but $14 for a liter a bit high too and there's a service charge on that! Was nice that they make it there themselves and I liked that they took the tap out of a whole wall with the others. Garlic French fries were very good but cold! Nevertheless, I will not be going back. read more

Walked in to explore the new establishment! The concept is great however, they are not ready for five stars. 1. No tasters 2. No music- background sport noice 3. No beer background information 4. Plastic bottles!? No mugs!!! So much potential to be perfect. My friends and I ended up getting beer to go. The ordering process was a total turn off and the atmosphere was very sporty. I am not to familiar with certain beers and asked for a taste and was informed the establishment does not provide tastes. You have to buy the plastic bottle. Hopefully management acknowledges the reviews and tweak the imperfections. Good luck! read more

Good service, good choices, nice location. Their food is good we had calamari and fried chicken read more

I would rate this 3 stars because of poor service and a little overpriced! Also on the menu they have 4 or 5 different kind of soups but when I asked they had only one which I did not want to. Overall we tried different beer and all of them were good. I will probably be back to have a beer with korushka! read more

Great selection of beers, I had some German brown beer today and it was great. A nice relaxing walk by water afterwards just adds to great experience. read more

If the owner is not there....come on...his workers are a joke. Not interested in customers...trying to say we are closed 40 min before closing time. We asked to buy some beer to go...but they refused us to sell some....WOW. My first and last time visiting this place. The owner is a nice and friendly dude. But other people are very rude, maybe because I'm black. Please read my review or this place will be shut down soon. read more

An amazing beer selection, and pretty good food. The 1st time I went we ordered the croutons that were on display. They were okay, would not order them again. The next time I ordered the mixed nuts, and I'm not sure what the hell I was eating. Would not order that again. Weird food options. Next time I'll stick to an order of fries. Also, the east European customers love to smoke even in the non smoking areas. My wife didn't like that at all! read more

It was a nice experience and large beer selection. my only is concern about plastic bottles (i don't know about solution, maybe glass bottles or bring your own glass bottles etc.) but the most important suggestion is that we like beer and fried potatoes with beer read more

Very nice place near by my house. Great service and cozy atmosphere. I have been buying tap beer from them before on Ave Z, and now I visited the new place. Guys I'm happy for you, you're growing! Wish you a much more of permanent customers ! Also one of the workers played great song on accordion, that was very nice ! read more

My own little piece of heaven in Sheepshead Bay, but they have some improvements to make. Plastic cups for me is a no no. Prices are reasonable. This establishment seems to cater to milddle age white Eastern European men who like soccer. That being said, as an African American Latinx Female, I have not been made to feel uncomfortable. Lots of curious looks, but that's it so far. They need to up their game regarding local beers. Mostly European beers. They have Dog Fish Head and Dilerium Tremens though which is awesome! NYC and Long Island craft beers would be a welcome addition. Katie who works there is very welcoming and polite. Great amount of potential to offer an extraordinary experience with some minor changes. read more

Nice place to sit down and enjoy a descent variety of beer selection. Price is reasonable and beers are cold and tasty!

Great selection of tap beer, although not cheap, however, this is a self-service bar, thus a 15% "service charge" is not applicable in my view but, when I asked a bartender, I was very rudely told off by the owner standing next to him. So, if you want to support a business where American values are not even respected and American way of life is being destroyed, go ahead... make them gloat... I still believe that CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! read more

Good beer selection. The space is nicely designed with a lot of potential. Food variety and quality desires to be better. The plastic cups, bottles, and paper plates are a big turn-off. Plus the service isn't very friendly. Hopefully, they will work out the kinks because the location is great! read more

Tap Beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

New place but with very good and fresh beer! Nice place to spend time with friends and family.

This place is a joke, pure amateur hour. We had a group of about 12 people looking to watch UFC 220 somewhere. Several weeks prior, I inquired inside and asked if generally they show UFC fights, the guy behind counter says yes they do. Fast forward to the day of event, I called early to reserve and confirm that the match will be shown, the girl on the phone seemed nice but clueless as to my inquiry, she tells me to call back in an hour when the boss gets in. I call back, the boss says yes they will show UFC but it'll be broadcast in Russian from some web stream. Long story short, we show up and order a bunch of stuff, at 10pm when the UFC was supposed to start, all of their TVs were showing some other sports, not at all UFC as promised. I inquire, guy says we're having technical difficulties we're working on it. 10:30pm still no UFC being shown on TVs, 10:45pm same story, talking to the boss was pointless. As we all started to get up and walk out in frustration, UFC comes on their TVs and immediately the screens freeze up in a buffering mode, hilariously frustrated we leave and go watch at Draft Barn, but at this point we've missed most of the matches. The owner/manager has a horrible attitude. If you're not a beer connoisseur and have no idea what beer you like or don't like, you'll be treated abrasively as in "how dare you not know at least 50 beer types, their origins and chemical properties off the top of your head, hurry up and order, we're too busy for a novice like you." You order beer at the counter, pay at the counter, and bring it yourself back to your table, yet they charge automatic service charge like 15% on everything they didn't actually serve at all. On a positive note, someone in my group said the wings were pretty good. read more

Is this place even legit? They barely have any food, what food they have looks poorly prepared and lukewarm. It's served on those flimsy paper plates that disintegrate after two minutes of use... they only have cheap plastic cups/bottles, and the prices are stupid high. I walk by when it's closed and see food and trash on tables and the floor that wasn't cleaned up. It's like if a teenage boy decided to open a bar but didn't want to do any service, food prep, dishes, or basic cleaning. What's the point of this place? And don't get me started on how they treat women that walk in... read more

Excellent service, staff, breadsticks, ambience, and of course beer. Good chill spot. They have Brewery equipment inside the store, it would be cool for them to start brewing which they told me they are in the process of pursuing. This would be the only on-site brewery in Sheepshead Bay with umpteen different beers already on tap. Outside seating wraps around the corner. read more
